DEFINITION OF TERMS…• Hazardous Waste Compliance: Conforming to rules, such as
a specification, policy, standard or law, including the resources and information needed to stay in compliance.
• MPCA: Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
• US EPA: United States Environmental Protection Agency.
• RCRA: Resource Conservation Recovery Act
• Transporters: Hazardous waste transporters move waste from one site to another by highway, rail, waterways, or air.

DEFINITION OF TERMS…
• Waste Generator: A hazardous waste generator is a site whose processes, manufacture and actions create hazardous waste .Generators are divided into three categories.
• Large Quantity Generators (LQGs): generate 2200 pounds or more per month
• Small Quantity Generators (SQGs): generate more than 220 pounds but less than 2200 pounds per month
• Very Small Quantity Generator (VSQGs):-generate 220 pounds or less per month of hazardous waste

COMPONENT UNDER STUDY
![Page 8: Capstone Final Defense Priyanka](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/56d6bf4b1a28ab301695a949/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• ABC and XYZ are small and very small quantity generators
of hazardous waste. They have failed in effective disposal
techniques and thus not in compliance with EPA, MPCA
and RCRA guidelines.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
![Page 9: Capstone Final Defense Priyanka](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/56d6bf4b1a28ab301695a949/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROBLEM…• Protect human health and the environment from dangers of waste disposal.
• To conserve energy and natural resources through waste recycling and recovery.
• To reduce the amount of waste generated.
• To ensure that Hazardous wastes are managed according to environmental compliance.

EVALUATE WASTE
![Page 15: Capstone Final Defense Priyanka](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/56d6bf4b1a28ab301695a949/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
DETERMINE GENERATOR SIZE
![Page 16: Capstone Final Defense Priyanka](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/56d6bf4b1a28ab301695a949/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Hazardous waste must be stored in appropriate containers.
• The type of container you use depend on the type of waste you generate.
PLACE WASTE IN CONTAINERS AND LABEL THEM
![Page 17: Capstone Final Defense Priyanka](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/56d6bf4b1a28ab301695a949/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Containers holding hazardous waste must be stored closed, except to add or remove waste.
• Containers must be inspected at least weekly for possible leaks or deterioration.
• Waste may only be stored on site only in a limited quantity for a limited time depending on the generator size.
STORAGE OF THE CONTAINERS
![Page 18: Capstone Final Defense Priyanka](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/56d6bf4b1a28ab301695a949/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• All generators are responsible for ensuring the hazardous waste transporters they use are complying with the requirements of state and federal law.
• Audits for compliance validation.
TRANSPORT AND DISPOSE WASTE PROPERLY
![Page 19: Capstone Final Defense Priyanka](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062522/56d6bf4b1a28ab301695a949/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Proper manifestation helps ensure managed disposed in a manner that does not pose a risk to human health or environment.
PREPARE AND DISTRIBUTE THE MANIFEST.
